Music Banter - View Single Post - I'm having a hard time getting into some of the screamo

I'm very open to music and I can appreciate a lot of this screamo but I'm having problems really enjoying a lot of it.

Currently, I'm into a lot of the post-hardcore that many on here don't like. Bands like

Saosin (with Anthony Green, not as much with Cove, they went too mainstream)
Thursday
Chiodos
The Sounds of Animals Fighting
At the Drive In
Refused
and I used to be into Silverstein, Senses Fail, and Hawthorne Heights but I outgrew all three to an extent

As for the more screamo, as soon as I found it, I've been addicted to Lion of the North. I also like You and I (143 is one of my favorite songs ever). I can listen to Hot Cross, Saetia, and Circle Takes the Square but not for long periods of time. All three of the are very borderline for me.

What are some bands (or maybe more accessible songs from the more hardcore bands) that are more like You and I and Lion of the North that I can listen to? It seems like I can reach into the genre and pull some amazing songs out but I can never stay for long.
